Overview

Creating product images for ecommerce traditionally requires studio photography, controlled lighting, and manual editing.

With ALL3D, you can generate studio product images directly from a product photo, with full control over background, composition, and output.

This workflow is ideal for:

  • Product detail pages (PDPs)
  • Catalog and marketplace listings
  • Consistent product imagery across your site

What Are Studio vs Silo Product Images?

  • Studio product images are clean, controlled product shots with minimal styling—such as plain backgrounds, soft shadows, or subtle gradients.
  • Silo images are a subset of studio images where the product is fully isolated on a clean background (often white), commonly used for marketplace listings.

👉 In practice:

All silo images are studio images, but not all studio images are silo images.


Step 1: Upload Your Product Image

Start by uploading your product:

  • Add your product image
  • Input dimensions (height, width, depth)

Use the highest-quality image available for best results.


Step 2: Select Studio Mode

Switch from:

  • Lifestyle Mode → full environments
    to
  • Studio Mode → clean, product-focused imagery

Studio mode is used to create:

  • PDP product images
  • Marketplace-ready visuals
  • Consistent catalog imagery

Step 3: Add an Inspiration Image

Upload an inspiration image to define the scene.

Examples:

  • Marble countertop
  • Plain background
  • Soft gradient backdrop

The inspiration controls:

  • Surface
  • Lighting
  • Composition

💡 Using visual references ensures more precise and consistent outputs than relying on prompts alone.


Step 4: Add a Prompt (Optional)

You can include a short prompt to guide placement.

Example:

“Place the product on the exact countertop in the image.”

Prompts are optional—Studio mode is designed to work primarily from visual input.


Step 5: Generate Product Images

Select how many images to generate and click Generate.

Outputs are created in about:

  • ~1 minute

You’ll receive:

  • Clean, consistent studio product images
  • Minimal variation compared to lifestyle scenes

Step 6: Review and Compare Outputs

Review each image for:

  • Product accuracy (color, shape, material)
  • Background consistency
  • Lighting alignment

Use comparison tools to validate the output against your original product image.


Studio Mode vs Lifestyle Mode
